Claude Homelab

Current release: 1.4.0.

Homelab plugin hub for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini. This repository is the source of truth for the homelab-core plugin, bundled skill-only integrations, agents, commands, and shared credential bootstrapping.

Overview

claude-homelab serves three roles at once:

• The homelab-core plugin published through the Claude marketplace
• The canonical mono-repo for 16 bundled skill-only service integrations
• The source for Codex and Gemini extension manifests that mirror the same workflow surface

The repo root is the plugin root. Do not edit generated copies in ~/.claude/ or ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ directly.

Installation

Claude marketplace

/plugin marketplace add jmagar/claude-homelab
/plugin install homelab-core @jmagar-claude-homelab

After install, Claude Code downloads the plugin into ~/.claude/plugins/cache/. No symlinks are created on this path.

Bash / symlink install

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmagar/claude-homelab/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Or, if you already have the repo cloned:

./scripts/install.sh

The installer:

1. Checks prerequisites (git, jq, curl)
2. Clones the repo to ~/claude-homelab (or pulls if it exists)
3. Runs setup-creds.sh — creates ~/.claude-homelab/.env from .env.example with chmod 600
4. Runs setup-symlinks.sh — symlinks skills, agents, and commands into ~/.claude/
5. Runs verify.sh — confirms every symlink and required file is in place
6. Prints next steps

Credential Model

All credentials for every service live in a single file:

~/.claude-homelab/.env

This file is created from .env.example at install time and is never committed. Set it up interactively after install:

# Interactive wizard (preferred)
# Open Claude Code and run:
/homelab-core:setup

# Or configure manually
$EDITOR ~/.claude-homelab/.env

Security requirements:

• ~/.claude-homelab/.env must have chmod 600 (owner read/write only)
• Never commit .env — it is gitignored
• Never log credentials, even in debug mode
• Use .env.example as the template (tracked in git, placeholder values only)

All service scripts load credentials via scripts/load-env.sh:

source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/claude-homelab}/scripts/load-env.sh"
load_env_file || exit 1
validate_env_vars "SERVICE_URL" "SERVICE_API_KEY"

Environment Variable Reference

Variables are grouped by service. Copy .env.example to ~/.claude-homelab/.env and replace placeholder values.
